“Dano is a supurb, intelligent, creative, and patient Instructor. I’d put him up against the best any day. Given Dano’s character, and back round, I had high expectations going into a shooting course under his instruction; my expectations were far exceeded.”
-Whitney B. private citizen
“Dan, I wanted to let u know how much I appreciate all your training and help. I really had an awesome time yesterday. Not only was it fun, but I learned a tremendous amount. I have been wanting to get involved in this type of work for 20 years. I am so grateful that you have now made this possible. I never thought it was possible, but then you were gracious enough to invite me to your home, and offer me just a small piece of your tremendous knowledge in all areas of law enforcement. I not only feel like I have the best instructor, but that I also now have made a friend that I have alot in common with. I really am very comfortable around you, and that really is very important in instructing or coaching. I think we can both agree that some things are just predetermined, and this is one of them. For the first time in 15 years, I am really looking forward to being happy with what I am doing, and you made it possible.
I can only hope that I can qualify to be part of Northwest, as I am sure it will be the number 1 training facility in the country. I will do whatever it takes to get there, and if I am given the opportunity, I will represent Northwest in a professional manner at all times.”

“I just wanted to express my gratitude, I not only enjoyed learning and re-learning but you had great patience with me and that I truly appreciate. I am going to look at the website and schedules to start to at least to get some techniques down of protecting my family and I without a weapon. Then when I get my FOID, I will get a used weapon from you. I already made up my mind when it comes to doing business with you and training with your programs. Thanks and take care.”

“I am writing to tell you about a friend of mine. His name is Dan Laudick. He is the chief instructor at Northwest Suburban Tactical Training Center. I have enjoyed many of his courses. If you go to his website, the list of his accomplishments and training is really incredible. He is sharing this knowledge in his courses. You dont have to be Rambo to learn to protect yourself. Please check it out. I can tell you he is professional, and a great teacher. Nice guy too. But also a legally certified Bad Ass. The classes are really informative and well taught. If you might be interested, or have someone you know would be, please call Dan. The things you learn may save your life or that of some one you love. Thanks,
Kevin Brown.”
